- The Fremont County Sheriff's Office conducted a search- and- rescue mission on Monday in the Gas Hills area.

Capt. Ryan Lee in a news release said Robexy Figueroa, 31, of Miami, Fla., was attempting to drive from Casper to the Riverton area with the aid of a navigational device. Lee said the instrument informed Figueroa to turn down the Gas Hills Road from Highway 20/26, and he followed the advice.

"The Gas Hills Road has no winter maintenance from Highway 20/26 to its intersection with Highway 136," Lee said. "The dirt road is usually drifted shut in several places, with snow in the winter months."

Figueroa's Honda car became stuck in a large snowdrift. After attempting to dig the vehicle out for several hours, Lee said Figueroa left his vehicle and began walking to find help.

"He walked about eight miles through blowing and drifting snow until he was able to locate an oil field location that provided both shelter and a telephone," Lee said. "He contacted the Sheriff's Office requesting help."

The Riverton Search and Rescue division reached the man with the use of snow machines around 5 p.m. on Monday.

"He was brought out of the area and was given a ride to Riverton," Lee said. "The man was not injured."
